:yeshrug: everybody has one


I know, I like how they left it in halo CE that way it's always there but with the change you are forced to used more weapons.

I have to point out that today I've been able to find games pretty quickly (around 1 min) and games have been running smoothly

Wednesday is the worst day to have the patch. It should've been upped as soon as it was ok'd by MS or Monday at the earliest. Wednesday is kind of a slap in the face of the community esp as GTA V next gen is dropping Tuesday and WILL take a chunk of the population (even if only temporarily)

With as much competition as there is this holiday season (cod already out, GTA V on Tuesday, WWE 2K15 on Tuesday as well, Far Cry also out) 343 doesn't have room for error or the game may suffer the same fate Halo 4 did. I say Thanksgiving/Black Friday is the latest this game can be in the shape its in now before the population starts to defect

Things have been MUCH better this weekend. however this collection just needs a patch or two ASAP and the community will be around A LONG time esp with CE-3 competitve communities having those games all in one package.

MCC's fate lies in 343's hands. The sooner the issues get fixed, the sooner everyone will forget about the launch issues (look at BF4. People still play it despite the launch issues and bad rep it had)

Patches go through certification, they have to test it out first.

Kinda agreed with you @StarClout, if they want to stay in the game, halo is their best ammo. Obviously the game was not ready idk if it was Microsoft's call or 343's but i definitely wouldn't mind a little delayed for perfection. But I'll do single player until they fix this, not happy with this release at all:stopitslime:

I'd have done with a beta before release and a delay but I guess MS wanted it out in the middle of the competition and before Black Friday.

As much shyt as Destiny gets for other reasons, the game had a damn smooth launch across 4 different platforms. Part of that had to do with the public alpha/betas

There's too much competition this holiday season for 343 to fumble now. The sooner they fix MCC the sooner all the backlash goes away and everyone goes back to playing MCC and being hype for the Halo 5 beta.

The casual players will be either weeded out by Advanced Warfare/GTA V or some may stick around once the game is fixed and become Halo fans/attempt to get better in MP

MCC is the reason I got an Xbox One and if I can put up with the issues that BF4 had at launch on the PS4 (I played that game on a :trash: satellite connection in the boonies during the holidays last year. Going from cable internet at home to that was a shocker. This year Verizon LTE hotspot on my iPhone 6 with unlimited data and perfect LTE signal in the middle of nowhere will be good to a nikka :youngsabo:) then I can put up with MCC issues until it's fixed

yeah destiny did get it handed to them but their lunch was smooth, but like you said it was due to alpha/beta. I can understand it's 4 games and there are alot to have everything smooth, a delayed would have been the right call. Maybe black Friday week would have been strong release, maybe. Let's see what the Content Update bring

That's why I said as soon as it was ok'd by MS (that included passing certification)

I should've specified that
Ok.

As far as population goes, even if the game was working fine people would still move onto another game within a week or so since GTA comes out. I'm sure a bulk of people who bought MCC are probably just casuals who buy the latest game due to hype and advertisements. Once GTA is out, they'll be playing that and only the serious fans of Halo will stick around. This happens with pretty much every game but that's speculation on my part. Why isn't there any player count in the lobby menu?? I used to like that in the previous halo games.

I mentioned the casuals in my edit

The casual players will be either weeded out by Advanced Warfare/GTA V or some may stick around once the game is fixed and become Halo fans/attempt to get better in MP

Don't forget the casuals/new players/OG halo players that will pile in on Christmas. MCC/Advanced Warfare/Destiny should all see a spike in population on Christmas as usual

Player count I guess will be added in once MM is fixed. It would do wonders right now since everyone would jump in the playlist with the highest player count and alleviate some of the MM gripes

Has 343 discussed how tiebreakers work if two maps tie for vote? It always randomly chooses (343 ain't slick with MCC ALWAYS choosing H2C/H2A over CE/3 in a tie :mjlol:)
